  1. I feel your pain, dude. I've been reading a lot about the conversion, but my reoccurring pussy syndrome keeps me from taking a drill press to my $400 investment.
  2. I don't understand. What does that mean? They're selling a $400 gun with no more than $200 worth of parts and about 6 hours of work for $1900.
  3. I knew there had to be a metric shit ton of car guys on here. Every car that has been displayed is fucking awesome, though my personal favorite is the old green F-body. I've gotta get out and get some pics of my sentra, it doesn't really fit the mold of the rest of the cars posted (aside from the Scooby, BTW is that a 2.5 RS or a WRX?), but it looks pretty decent.
  4. That's a new low, errr, high. I thought a $900 quote was ridiculous. Not that it isn't but that takes the cake.
  5. It seems like in the last year or so there has been some seriously fervent purchasing of firearms on the part of myself and a lot of other people I know or encounter. This has led me to question the actual reasons and manner in which this taking place, if y'all follow me. At the gun show, the atmosphere is one of impending doom, which I have yet to decide whether I agree or not. For example in November, I purchased a bulk amount of ammunition based on the fact that I had heard that prices for ammo, particularly steel case 7.62 short would be rising exponentially in January. Well, it's near the
  6. Yeah, but you'd be paying $500 bucks for a gun that you could get for less than $300....
  7. Dude, right down the street from my place. The guy that runs the place is pretty awesome, he'll accept stuff with his FFL for free, and if you want to order something out of, say, Centerfire, he just charges you 10% over what they charge, which I think is totally reasonable. But for stuff off of gunbroker he doesn't charge you a dime. One time my kel-tec su16 jammed up on me and I couldn't get the offending shell out, so I took it to him. He fixed it, then pulled a mag off a gun on the shelf, dug through a coffee can of bullets, pulled out a couple of .223, said "fire in the hole," and t
  8. Ehh, I'm not seeing the "enable email notification." Exactly where is it, and is it only when you first post in a thread? Like right now, I'm not seeing it in this reply box, but I already manually subscribed to this thread.
  9. I bought a saiga .308 from him a couple of months ago, but I think I got a decent deal. $430 shipped with a 25 round mag, ended up being about $20 cheaper than the guy at the pawnshop wanted for one with a factory mag. This was before I found this forum, of course. But then the guy at the pawn shop hooked it up on a S12 last week cheaper than I could find anywhere, so it's all good.

    I did that, and it looks like the trigger is getting hung up on the safety bar. (Sorry, I don't know the technical term for this, kinda new at the whole gun customizing thing. ) Is there a fix? We were talking about just dremelling out the spot where it was catching, but I don't know if that's a great idea.
  11. HAHA, that's the guy that wanted to sell me a S12 with a folding stock for $900. He did bust out some "Well, I ordered 100 of those things and only received 25, and now I only have 2 left. I may get some more around the middle of the summer, I may not." Whatever dude.
  12. I've been looking around and I can't seem to find an option that will automatically subscribe me to any thread I post in. Am I looking in the wrong places, or does this feature not exist on this forum? All I can find is the "track this topic" option in the "forum options" window. Any ideas?

    I have a (seemingly) similar problem with my new S12. It's not a feeding issue, it's more of a trigger issue, I think. I took it out to shoot for the first time on sunday, put about 15 rounds through it, and it worked fine. But then it started acting up. Every time I put a round through it, it acted like the safety was on. The shell would feed fine, but the trigger wouldn't pull, and I would have to pop the magazine out, manually rack the bolt to eject the shell, pop the mag back in, and rack the bolt again. It would fire one, and then repeat the same aforementioned phenomenon. Any i
  14. A guy at a place called sparta guns and ammo in NC quoted me $900 for a S12 with a folding stock on it. He said that they were supposed to get some more in towards the end of summer, but that he couldn't make any promises, hence the price. I talked to the guy at my local pawn shop and he told me he could get one for mid $400's. I ended up walking out of the store with the thing for $475. This is just an example of the wide discrepancies concerning hear-say and actuality. I have a theory about the frenzied gun purchasing going on right now, but that's a different topic for a differen
  15. /\/\ Yeah, no doubt. Project cars will run anywhere between 0% - 25% of the time. I never have that issue with any of my guns.
  16. I'm surprised there's not more car guys, but I guess this is a relatively new thread. It seems like car guy are always into guns and vice versa. I'm into cars, up until this point mostly import cars, but with the trouble I've been having making my turbo sentra run right, I'm about to the point where I want to buy an early 70's chevelle and throw a big block in it. I've also always been a fan of the SS camaros. LS1 is the shit.
  17. I was looking at one of those barksa's in the sportsman's guide and wondering about the quality. I saw that 3-9X for around $40, IIRC.
  18. I want that!!!! DROOL!!!! Yeah, I'm interested in that stock for the S308 I just got. That is the one that costs $75 on saigastocks.com, right? Is that just the same stock that they sell on the 16" 308's, or is there some difference?
  19. Thanks. Can some one explain to me what everyone is talking about when they talk about conversions on these saiga rifles, or point me in a direction where I can read up on it?
  20. Hi. I just purchased a Saiga .308 from gunbroker, I expect to have it in my possession within the week. I'm pretty excited about finding a decent auto-loading .308 that didn't break the bank, and have read nothing but praise as far as the saiga is concerned. I also own a Century arms AK and a glock 23. Eventually I plan on getting one of the skeleton stocks for the saiga, and some sort of optics. I assume that the skeleton stock off of the 16" .308 will also fit on the 22" .308, so hopefully I can find someone on here who is converting their 16" to a folding stock or something. Anyway, ju
